Research Abstract

In the 1980s, how to understand the Japanese firm was the main focus of theoretical and empirical studies in economics. By applying the theory of game to "institutional analysis of the Japanese firm", Masahiko Aoki gained a dominant influence in this study field not only in Japan but worldwide. As he had no experience in empirical researches, he used empirical researches of Kazuo Koike and Banri Asanuma as supporting his theory of the Japanese firm. His theory seemed to be the best theory for explaining the marvelous competitive edge of Japanese firms in the bubble boom. But after the burst of bubble in the early 1990s, the neo-classical theory of market fundamentalism replaced the theory of Aoki. It happened not because the theory of Aoki was criticized theoretically and empirically, but because the Japanese economy turned into the worst-after-the-war recession and thus lost its brightness.
Our project team regards both the theory of Aoki and the market fundamentalism as theoretically and empirically wrong. As the first step to develop an alternative theory of the Japanese firm and economy, we examined the theory of Aoki and its empirical foundation. The three-year project was concluded with a report presented to the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture. The report begins with the paper of Takeda as introduction, then following papers examining skill formation, horizontal information structure, supplier system, incentives, bargaining structure. With publishing the report we finish theoretical and empirical examination on the theory of Aoki. We will organize a new project to criticize the market fundamentalism.
